12. Ratnagiri – An artist’s delight

Last year we visited Ratnagiri a lovely port town on the Konkan coast. The USP of the town and the reason it is still clean and peaceful is because not many tourists haunt this place. Inspired by the sea and the sun and the sands of Ratnagiri, Parmita painted a number of seascapes. 

This one is a painting, in case you are wondering.

Some pictures of the sea that inspired the paintings.

The Thibaw Palace, where the exiled King of Burma spent his last years and which prompted me to read Amitav Ghosh’s 'The Glass Palace'. A sad and forlorn place.
